Brighton Beauty Haul

Hello!

In my previous post I mentioned that I was going to be doing some 'Brighton Hauls' and this is going to be the first of two!

Before I start rambling on about this, that and the other I just want to say that I am not trying to brag in any way, but that it was my birthday and I just wanted to have a good time shopping with my best friend whether I spent or not.

Everything in this haul was bought with my money apart from one thing which was a gift but it is all from Boots or Superdrug so everything is affordable and I did not go and spend hundreds of pounds. You can also find links to everything mentioned in this blog post under the 'Product Index' tab.
Enjoy!

So as you can see I bought quite a lot of eye makeup as it's my favourite but I also got a few lip products as they are not really my thing but I do want to have a few different shades of lipstick/lip gloss to complement my eye makeup. I also bought a concealer as I needed a new one and had voucher for No7.

I got this palette from my friend for my birthday but thought I would include it anyway. When I got this palette I was surprised and a little disappointed as I honestly thought it would be bigger, however after using it I was converted and I love how small it is as that make it easy to take away, not to mention all the colours have great pigmentation and blend really nicely. The only thing I would say is that the palette would be perfect if it had a mirror instead of a clear lid as then you would have good eye shadows and a mirror to do your makeup in.

 Next I got these two colour tattoos in 'Vintage Plum' and 'Permanent Taupe'. I have used both colours by themselves and as bases and they are perfect for both as the pigmentation is amazing and they are super blendable; perfect for a smoky eye or simply as they are.

That is it for part 1 of this haul! I hope you enjoyed reading and the other half will be up next Saturday and will feature the other items that I bought. I just decided to split it up as I did buy quite a lot of stuff and I didn't want this post to be super long. Please leave a comment on your beauty favourites and what you would recommend , thanks for reading,

Beauty Monday: Evening Winter Skincare

Hi Guys,

First I would like to say the biggest sorry in the world as I have missed so many posts recently and I feel so bad and also it's Beauty Monday but on a Tuesday. I have missed so many posts because I haven't been having the best of times recently and I felt like anything that I did post wouldn't be good enough and you guys don't deserve that so I took at little break and now i'm back! Sorry for that long intro there now back to the post. 

Today I am doing a post on my winter evening skincare because now it is December it is officially Winter so this was definitely the right time to put up this post. Enjoy!

Step 1: Remove the Make-up!!

In the evenings after a long day at school I love it when I can finally take off all the makeup and other nasties that have been building up on my skin throughout the day. To remove my make-up I use the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water and this honestly takes your make-up off without really having to put in that much effort all you have to do is buy it.

Step 2: Cleanse

The next thing I do is go into the bathroom and cleanse my face using the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish in Orange and Mint. This is the limited edition version of the cleanse and polish and it is definitely my favourite Liz Earle scent. If you want a more in depth review of this cleanser then click here to read my previous review. 

Step 3: Tone

Now this step isn't necessary but i like to just like to pop at little bit of the toner onto a cotton pad and sweep it across my face to get rid of any excess oil or any other dirt left on my face after using the Micellar Water and cleansing with the Liz Earle. The toner I use is also Liz Earle and it is their Instant Boost Skin Tonic and this is my favourite toner ever!!

Step 4: Moisturise

The final step and if you want good skin DON'T miss it out!! Moisturising is one of the most important steps out of all of them because after you have taken the time to remove makeup, cleanse and tone you don't want it to go to waste buy leaving your skin as it will go dry, tight and just wont feel very nice.

The cream I use in the evening is the Human + Kind Skin Lightening Cream I love this cream for the night time because I have combination skin and this cream is non-oily which I love and in the morning when I wake up my skin feels so nice. I also use the Simple Kind to Eyes Soothing Eye Balm as I prefer to use a different cream that is more suited for under my eyes.

That my friends is my evening skincare routine! I personally think that all of these products work brilliantly for my skin and I am not saying that my skin is perfect but by using all these products it is definitely getting better. I would also like to say that this is not a sponsored post but I am just really loving Liz Earle at the moment and genuinely think that Liz Earle is a great brand even if it is more expensive than say Simple but I love that brand too. Thanks for Reading,

xo, Chantel!
